About Grace & Such

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. ~ Ephesians 4:3

In today’s political and cultural climate, with the overwhelming amount of social media, we are an unwilling audience to the hatred among Christians, among fellow believers. God’s grace abounds, yet so many show so little of it toward others. Grace & Such was started as a way to show healthy and gracious conversation, even when we are in disagreement. Our blog includes posts written by a diverse team of women whose only objectives are to share their grace journeys and show what grace-in-action really looks like to the community of believers who, at times, seems to have forgotten how.

Who We Are

As our tagline says, we are a bunch of women writing about grace. And such.

We are a diverse group of women, ranging in age from 20 to 60-something.

Some of us are married; some are divorced; some are single.

Some of us have children; some have grandchildren; some have neither.

Some of us are conservative; some are liberal; some are somewhere in between.

We don’t agree on everything and that’s okay. But here’s what we do agree on:

We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God

We believe in one God in three distinct, equal persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit

The Father is the creator of all

The Son (Jesus Christ) is our salvation and the only way to the Father

The Holy Spirit indwells followers of Jesus and is the source through which we are able to live godly lives

Our desire is to encourage other women as we share our thoughts and experiences as well as Biblical truths.

...is a child-advocacy ministry that pairs compassionate people with those who are suffering from poverty. The ministry releases children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty. The goal is for each child to become a responsible and fulfilled adult.

It’s a fact of life; we forget things. We forget little things like where we put our keys, telephone numbers, or to leave something out for dinner. We also tend to forget more important things like a friend’s birthday, an anniversary, or what made us fall in love with our spouse. Sometimes I think we forget the most significant and wonderful thing of all – God’s grace. Many years ago I made a workplace mistake that resulted in my being…

7:30 PM: I stand in front of the mirror prepping my face for the night. 7:45 PM: A thought passes through my mind similar to, “This is a bad idea.” (Ever have one of those thoughts? Maybe, like me, at times you’ve ignored it too) 8:30 PM: So I proceed. I lie to my mom and then sneak away to a small party. 9:00 PM: The alcohol arrives and we begin indulging. 3:00 AM: The police arrive and we begin…

Confession: I’m a Pinterest person. In a fit of decluttering more than a year ago, I found the virtual bulletin board, collector of all things. You see an idea for a really cool but huge piece of furniture? Pin it instead of buying it. Love vintage clothes but can’t fit in that tiny-waisted 50s dress? Hang it in your Pinterest closet. Want to collect salt and pepper shakers by the hundreds? Pin them instead. I’m also a fan of the…
